EASY PEEZY PIZZA DOUGH (BREAD MACHINE PIZZA DOUGH)
This is a really easy way to make a good "yeasty" pizza dough! As well as using this recipe for when I'm making pizza, I also use it for when I'm making a focaccia or a calzone. (The preparation time I have given includes the time it takes to make the dough in the machine and the time it takes for the pizza dough to proof - after removing it from the bread machine, 30 minutes.)

Steps:
- For the creamy mustard dip: Stir together the mustard, sour cream and honey. Season with salt. Transfer to a small serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- For the pretzel bites: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a tray with paper towels.
- Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Divide the pizza dough into four pieces and roll each piece into a rope about 3/4-inch in diameter. Cut each rope into approximately 1-inch long segments.
- When the water comes to a boil, add the baking soda and stir to combine. Add half of the dough to the water and boil for about 45 seconds. Transfer the boiled dough to the paper towels. Repeat with the remaining dough. Lightly pat the dough with a paper towel to dab off some of the foamy water.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the egg with 1 1/2 tablespoons water in a small bowl.
- Dip each dough bite into the egg wash, letting the excess drip off, then place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each. Sprinkle the tops of the bites lightly with salt and bake until deep golden brown all over, 13 to 15 minutes.
- Serve warm with the creamy mustard dip.

Steps:
- Add ingredients to pan in order listed, set bread machine on"dough" and walk away.
- After the cycle is completed, lightly coat dough ball in flour and roll or slap out to desired size.
- Top with desired sauce, cheeses, meats and/or veggies and bake at 450° until cheese is golden brown.
- Will make a 9-10" pizza of average thickness, or a 13-14" thin crust pizza.
- For best results, bake on a preheated baking stone sprinkled with corn meal.
- Notes: You may substitute beer for all or part of the water. I've used 3/4 cup flat beer and 1/4 water with excellent results. A teaspoon of semolina may be added as well -- it provides a nice crunchiness to the dough when baked. Corn meal can be substituted for the semolina (and likewise, semolina can be used to dust the pizza peel and/or baking stone).
EASY AS PIE 10-MINUTE NO-RISE THIN-CRUST PIZZA DOUGH
This came from one of the volumes in my e-cookbook collection-- it's meant to yield one 12" pizza but I get about two 8" or 9" individual pizzas with it. You can bake the raw dough with sauce and cheese on it but I prefer to bake ahead and freeze the crusts so I can just thaw it out then put sauce and toppings on. According to the instructions, you can use regular all-purpose flour if you don't have bread flour. (1 3/4 cups AP flour + 5 1/4 teaspoons vital wheat gluten = 1 3/4 cups bread flour)

Steps:
- Proof the yeast in the warm water with the honey or sugar for 8-10 minutes or until foamy.
- Add the remaining ingredients together and knead well, about 2-5 minutes.
- If the dough seems a little sticky, dust your hands with some flour and knead again.
- Grease a pizza pan or pie pan with cooking spray, and place the dough into it-- entire thing if a 12" pie, or half for an 8" or 9" pan.
- I prefer to bake these crusts ahead of time-- but if you want to eat it now, you can put the sauce, cheese, toppings, etc. on it and use the same baking instructions.
- Bake at 500F for 8-12 minutes or until the edges are nice and brown.

- Put water in mixer bowl and sprinkle yeast over water to dissolve.
- Mix water and yeast with whisk attachment until foamy.
- Add Olive Oil, Salt, Oregano and Honey and whisk together until well blended.
- Add 1 Cup of Flour and mix together.
- Remove whisk attachment scraping dough mixture into bowl and attach bread hook to mixer.
- Add another Cup of Flour and mix on low speed until well incorporated and dough is not "sticky". If dough is too sticky, add the additonal 1/4 cup (or more) of flour until it resembles bread dough.
- Mix dough on medium speed for 5-7 minutes until it is elastic and smooth.
- Remove dough ball from mixer and place in an oiled bowl large enough for the dough to double in size.Cover bowl with a damp cloth and allow dough to rise in a warm place, away from drafts.
- When dough is doubled in size (15-20 minutes), remove from bowl and punch down dough, roll out to desired thickness and shape.
- Drizzle Olive Oil on rolled out dough, sprinkle with additonal Dried Oregano and Kosher Salt, and top as desired.
- Bake on a perforated pizza pan in a very hot (500 degree) oven. Start pizza on bottom rack for 5 minutes. Using a pizza peal, slide the peal underneath the pan and move the pizza to the oven's top rack. Continue baking until crust is browned, and toppings are heated (5-7 minutes more).
- Using the pizza peal, remove the pizza pan from the oven carefully. Place pan on a heat proof surface, then use the pizza peal to remove the pizza from the pan. Allow pizza to cool for 2 minutes on the peal, then slice as desired using a pizza cutter.
EASY FRIED DOUGH (PIZZA FRITTE)
This was one of our favorite treats, growing up. Mom would fry dough for breakfast, lunch or a snack. I've carried this tradition down to my children and grandchildren, and I know they're going to do the same with their families. One of the easiest recipes I can give you, actually, not a recipe at all. Just some simple...

Steps:
- 1. Pour about 1" of oil into frying pan, and heat to medium-high. (A tip for knowing when your oil is ready: tear off a tiny piece of bread and when it floats to the top and has bubbly sides it's ready. You don't want it sinking to the bottom.)
- 2. Place dough on floured board and press down to even out a bit. Cut into 8 equal pieces. Put a little flour on your hands (so the dough won't stick) and gently stretch out the dough as far as it will go, without ripping it.
- 3. Carefully place into the hot oil, cook about a minute (goes fast) or until the side down is golden, then turn over and brown the other side. (Never leave the stove when you're frying something. I learned the hard way, and burned down my first house. Yeah, true story!)
- 4. Use tongs to remove onto a paper towel or brown paper bag, to drain off any excess oil. Immediately sprinkle on cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar or spread on some butter, and various other toppings, if desired. Serve warm.
- 5. Your choice of toppings are endless: Powdered sugar Granulated sugar Cinnamon sugar Butter Jam Honey

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400'F.
- Place the flour, baking powder and the salt into a bowl. Make a well in the center and add the water and oil.
- Combine by gradually incorporating the flour into the olive oil and water. You may want to add a little more water if necessary.
- Transfer the dough to a floured board and knead it at least for 5-7 minutes.
- Let the dough rest in an air tight plastic bag while you prepare the toppings for your pizza.
- Once the toppings are made, set them aside and take the dough out of the plastic bag.
- Put a tiny bit of oil in the center of your pizza pan and with your hands and finger tips spread the dough to cover the pan. I use a 12 inch pizza pan. You could probably stretch it to 15 inches, but it would be a thinner crust.
- Place your pizza sauce on the dough and then cover with your favorite toppings.
- Pop it into the preheated oven. Check it after about 20 minutes to see how the crust is browning. Some ovens are hotter then others, so this is a good habit to get into.
- Bon Appetit!
- P.S.: If you change the ingredients in this recipe I can't guarantee it's going to turn out the way mine did. But, hey, experiment with it. Thanks for choosing my recipe!
EASY LOW-SODIUM PIZZA DOUGH
Pizza dough is easy to come by in the markets these days but sodium level is along the lines of bread, just too much. This uses 1/4 tsp of sodium, which is equivalent to 500 mg of sodium. Here it is spread out to four pizzas, so each dough portion should be about 125 mg. The dough is very easy to make. It needs to sit out...

- Blend in the flours and knead until elasticy, about 5 minutes or so.
- Cover with parchment paper or a dish towel and let rise for 20-30 minutes.
- Spray a cookie sheet, pizza stone, or round baking dish with cooking spray and put some dough in and you're set!
- I get about 4-5 8" mini pizzas out of this. Maybe more if I really rolled it out to make thin-crust.

EASY 30-MINUTE PIZZA DOUGH II
Based on my swear-by recipe Recipe #420921 and another dough recipe. 1 1/2 cup AP flour + 1 1/2 tbsp vital wheat gluten = 1 1/2 cup bread flour. Fast-rise active dry yeast speeds this up too; and it's okay if you use a 0.25-oz packet instead of measuring out 2 tsp of yeast from a jar if you reduce the rising time.

EASY 30-MINUTE PIZZA HUT CLONE DOUGH
This came from my copycat e-cookbook that I altered by doing half white and half wheat flours; it originally called for 3 cups all-purpose flour. The trick here isn't so much in the ingredients as it's in the technique in the last few steps! I'm thinking that this dough would do wonderful with some nutritional yeast added for a cheesy flavor...who says you can't health-ify fast food! :D This yields one 12" crust or one 9 x 13 sicilian pie if making for a group/family, or two to three 8-9" individual crusts if making for just yourself. NOTE: the "30-minute" title is just for prepping the dough itself, not baking the actual pizza as oven strengths vary but the science in the yeast is all the same.

Steps:
- 1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 475 DEGREES F. Using a medium size bowl add the whole wheat and bread flour together. STIR TILL THE FLOURS ARE BLENDED TOGETHER.
- 2. Then scoop out ONE CUP of the flour mixture & add it to the mixing bowl, that has been equipped with a dough hook attachment. Now add in the 2 packages of yeast, sugar, salt, extra virgin olive oil, and begin slowly to mix.
- 3. Add in the hot water and increase speed till flour begins to blend together.
- 4. Gradually add in MOST OF remaining flour,(WILL NOT NEED ALL OF IT) with increased speed, and beat until mixture comes together and forms a soft ball of dough that is not sticky. SHOULD LOOK LIKE DOUGH IN PICTURE. With the addition of the whole wheat flour knead at least 6 or 7 minutes or so.
- 5. Remove from mixing bowl, then grease a medium size bowl with olive oil, add the ball of dough, and grease all sides of ball of dough. Then cover with a heavy dish towel to keep warm, and allow to rise while you prep the veggie toppings for the pizza. I LEFT BOWL ON STOVE TOP WHILE IT WAS PREHEATING TO ALLOW DOUGH TO RISE at least 15 minutes, I let mine rest for about half hour.
- 6. Cube the precooked sausage patties into cubes, until they resemble the ones in picture. YOU MAY WANT TO USE OTHER TOPPINGS, or no meat at all.
- 7. Chop remaining veggies and shred cheese if needed, and add to a large platter, till you are ready to top pizza.
- 8. Spray a long jelly roll size pan with cooking spray, and then dust lightly with the 2 tablespoons of yellow corn meal, then shake to coat the entire bottom of pan.
- 9. Now the pizza dough should be ready, it is at least double in bulk. Notice dough in step #5 and now in step #9 how much it rose in the bowl.
- 10. Now press dough out with fingers into pan, pushing out to the outer edge, and into corners, until the desired thickness is reached. Should look somewhat like the picture. NOW PLACE IN THE PREHEATED OVEN FOR 4 MINUTES ONLY, this is to assure that crust will not be soggy when it is completely cooked with added toppings.
- 11. After 4 minute time lapse, remove from oven, and add the pizza/pasta sauce, leaving about a 1 inch border on all sides NOT COVERED WITH SAUCE. Now sprinkle with Italian seasoning or oregano.
- 12. Top with topping ingredients as desired. I started with some of the mozzarella cheese first after adding the sauce, then added the sausage, peppers, cheddar cheese, and shredded gruyere cheese, can top with additional Italian Seasoning if desired before baking. NOTE: IF YOU WEIGH THE CRUST DOWN WITH TOO MANY INGREDIENTS, THE CRUST MAY BE SOGGY AFTER COOKING.
- 13. Place in preheated 475 degree F. oven and bake for 15 minutes or until cheeses has melted and toppings is hot and bubbly. Remove from oven.
- 14. Using a pizza cutter, cut into desired size slices, and serve immediately. I got about 15 nice size serving slices.
- 15. Enjoy and watch them come back for more. These detailed steps are for anyone that has been intimidated about making their own pizza crust & pizza before, especially my daughter Briana. Here's to you Briana, a NO FAIL APPROACH TO MAKING YOUR OWN HOMEMADE PIZZA. ENJOY WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

EASY HERB PIZZA DOUGH
Just 40 minutes to amazing pizza!!!! After trying many pizza dough recipes and a lot of experimentation, I have come up with a recipe that everyone in the family likes. Since we're vegan and don't use cheese on our pizza, it's important that the dough be flavorful--and this one is! Top with pesto, sauteed zucchini, onion and pine nuts for a delicious pesto pizza, or try Recipe #397296 with roasted sweet potato and carmelized onion. Also, this recipe halves very, very easily.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the warm water into a small mixing bowl or a standard 2 cup measure, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and let stand until the yeast softens, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix slightly to dissolve yeast and allow it to proof for another 15 minutes in a warm spot in the kitchen. Add the room temperature water and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Measure the flour and the salt into the bowl of a stand mixer. Combine on very low speed with the paddle attachment. Slowly add the liquid ingredients to the dry, and increase the speed of the mixer slightly to incorporate the mass. Stop the mixer and replace the paddle with a dough hook if you have one. Knead until the dough becomes smooth and begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, about 4 minutes. Place the dough on a floured board and knead the dough by hand for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add flour to dust as needed to prevent sticking. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a very lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean towel, let stand until dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
- When the dough has doubled in bulk, divide it into 6 equal pieces (about 6 ounces each). Set the pieces of dough being used on a sheet pan and cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap.
